4. This is a bit like people complaining about states being called with only 11% of the vote in.

The balance of the remaining votes is predictable enough to call it.

If you don't consider that clinching, then Obama didn't clinch until the convention in 2008, either.

This is childish semantics.

Buffalo did great scoring 0 points in the fourth quarter during its 52-17 loss to Dallas in Super Bowl 27. I imagine they arrived to play as well.

Also worth remembering that Sanders is up a net 150 delegates from caucuses, which can disenfranchise voters. Clinton +370 in primaries.
